Well I've been home from work for almost 2 weeks now and never had the slightest inclination to turn on the PS3. But I decided earlier that I was going to tie up all the loose ends in Assassins Creed 2. Set up the big chair, put my feet up, turn the machine on, start the game, the usual routine. Get an error which i subsequently found out means that Sony in their infinite 'wisdom' have managed to make a complete pigs ear of the PSN and are trying to fix it. Even worse it is only affecting older phat models, so all the spotty teenagers who bought theirs yesterday are good to go but people like me who got theirs a few years back and have spent a few bob on games, accessories etc are left watching Blue Rays. And why today??? Eh??? Wife in Spain, kids in school, dog curled up on his bed sleeping contently and a few spare hours just for me. 1st time its happened in 12 days home and Sony go and boot it right up the khyber pass. I normally swear by Sony (phones,media players, tv's etc) but they are really starting to get right on my nipple tassles lately with their plans for world dominance, which if you remember goes way back to VHS (JVC) v's Betamax (Sony) in the 70's/80's. But anyhoo i'm getting annoyed that i'm spending what should be good gaming time on here moaning like an old woman.......................... so i'm out, toodles lol
